Low latency is the real game-changer for 5GSpeed is just one part of what makes 5G so appealing, though. At the Shape conference, AT&T made a point to emphasize 5G’s worth to businesses and developers. Interactive demos by companies like Magic Leap, Nvidia, Nokia, Google and IBM gave me a tiny glimpse into how that 5G speed can bring creative dreams and utilities a step closer to reality. As I came across these demonstrations, though, I began to notice 5G’s true secret weapon: really low latency. Latency is the time it takes your computer or gaming console to send data to an online server and get data back. The less time this takes, the better.A whack-a-mole-style game from Ericsson showed off how vastly different the latency is between 5G, 4G and 3G connections. Instead of moles, there was an arcade table console that had small plastic circles across the top. When a circle lit up, you simply pressed it to get a point. While it sounds easy enough, when I played the game I wore a VR headset with cameras on the front. I could see only the live feed inside the headset, which was streamed over a 5G connection. Gameplay felt natural and easy until the connection switched to 4G. Once that kicked in, my timing was immediately off. Things got much worse when the connection switched to 3G. This demo was such an effective and fun way to show how 5G’s latency is crazy low, it became one of my most memorable takeaways.In addition, Nvidia showed off its GeForce Now, a cloud streaming service for games. I played Batman Arkham City over 5G and had no idea I wasn’t playing a local copy. Movements were smooth and reflexive gameplay felt no different than on a PlayStation. Low latency won’t make headlines, but it means businesses can use cloud computing to create more-powerful experiences on our phones and devices. And I think it’s smart that AT&T is rolling out its 5G network to businesses and developers first. Back when Apple first released the iPhone, there wasn’t an app store until a year later. Perhaps it would have been better for the apps develop first, since they were what made the iPhone truly so innovative.AT&T is pushing businesses and developers to discover compelling uses for 5G. And those uses will be what ultimately makes 5G go mainstream to consumers. Until then, expect more speed tests and 5G phones that are aimed at early adopters.Originally published June 22, 11:41 a.m. PTUpdate, 6:48 p.m.: Adds details on speeds and demos.Update, June 25, 12:30 p.m.: Adds possible timing of 5G rollout to consumers Share your voice Samsung, LG, Motorola: How soon can we expect 5G phones? 55 Now playing: Watch this: AT&T 5G network has some of the fastest speeds we’ve… Mobile 9:40 Usain Bolt-fast 5G speedsArmed with a Galaxy S10 5G phone, I ran a dozen speed tests around a square back lot at Warner Bros. that was dotted with 5G millimeter wave nodes on rooftops. I was able to measure upload and download speeds and to download hours of movies and TV shows in a matter of seconds. The takeaway? AT&T 5G Plus is faster than The Flash when he has to pee. I got speeds that were consistently over 1Gbps, often hitting 1.6 to 1.7Gbps. That’s six times faster than my home internet.I ran 12 tests with the Speedtest.net benchmarking app to measure speeds, and eight were over 1.4Gbps. The top speed was 1.782Gbps, which is faster than the top speed of 1.3Gbps we experienced on Verizon’s 5G network in Chicago and well above the 484Mbps top mark we recorded in Dallas on Sprint’s 5G network.I downloaded and installed PUBG Mobile, which is 1.96GB, in 27 seconds while the download and install time was one minute and 23 seconds. The first season of Blue Planet II (six hours of video) took 17 seconds to download with the Netflix app. And the first four episodes of The Swamp Thing downloaded from the DC app took 52 seconds.To see how AT&T’s 5G speeds compare to Verizon and Sprint, read: Verizon vs. AT&T vs. Sprint 5G throwdown: The battle rages on.From what I experienced on Saturday, 5G is still very much in its raw cookie dough state. Networks are still being built out, and the tests I ran were a small but wonderful tease of what our future wireless connections should be able to do.But it’s worth noting that the speeds I experienced on AT&T’s 5G Plus are available only in small zones for businesses like Warner Bros. and Magic Leap. Consumers could have to wait until at least 2020 before they can experience these insane speeds themselves. 13 Photos Comments Tags We tested AT&T’s 5G network for the first time on a Galaxy S10 5G. Logan Moy/CNET It’s fitting that I tested AT&T’s 5G network at the Warner Bros. studio in Los Angeles. Both Hollywood and 5G aim to take our wildest ideas and make them real. In AT&T’s case, it’s the promise of high-speed mobile data over a cellular network, which could revolutionize how we use our phones, computers and connected devices. In the little time I spent testing 5G speeds at the AT&T Shape conference at Warner Bros., I was blown away by how fast they were. They cruised past the speeds we’ve witnessed in similar early 5G tests done with Verizon and Sprint.AT&T is the third US carrier over the past few months to give us a taste of the power and potential of 5G. After a less than stellar preview in April, Verizon flexed its blazing speed muscles in May around select parts of Chicago on its 5G network. Later that month, Sprint showed off its 5G network in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and it proved impressive in terms of its reliability and the size of its coverage — even if Verizon’s demo was faster. AT&T’s approach was to show off a 5G-connected campus on the Warner Bros. lot. Imagine, for example, a film crew being able to instantly share footage with someone on the other side of the lot across a lightning-fast network.5G is the next generation of cellular technology, and it should allow for faster data speeds with incredibly low latency. The new generation of wireless innovation could lead to a slew of uses that are practical, like downloading movies to our phones in seconds or streaming AR or VR games without lag — but also hopeful, like being a harbinger for technologies that have yet to be envisioned. The latter could truly revolutionize industries, from self-driving cars to remote medical procedures. 5G 4G LTE AT&T Samsung Sprint T-Mobile Verizonread more

Payment banks, which got in-principle nod from the central bank, are expected to offer over 1,500 jobs with pay packages as high as Rs 1.50 crore when they launch their operations in the next 18 months, according to executive search firms.In August, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had approved 11 entities, including Reliance Industries, Vodafone m-pesa and Airtel M Commerce to open payment banks.These entities can accept cash deposits, permit remittances and roll out “simple financial products”. They can accept savings deposits of up to Rs 1 lakh from a customer. However, a payments bank is not allowed to lend to customers, like commercial banks.The payment banks will hire nearly 150 senior executives, 370 mid-level executives and over 1,000 junior-level staff in the coming months, The Economic Times reported, citing estimates made by Vito India, a headhunting firm.So far, some of these entities — Cholamandalam, Department of Posts, National Securities Depository, Tech Mahindra and Dilip Shanghvi of Sun Pharma — haven’t hired the chief executives for their payment banks.The areas for which the payment banks recruit people include product, sales and distribution, merchant acquisition, strategic alliances, operations, and regulatory and compliance and they are expected to offer salaries between Rs 50 lakh and Rs 75 lakh for senior executives handling these functions.”Salary for CXOs (CEOs and other management-level executives) is in the range of Rs 1-1.5 crore while for a level below it is around Rs 70 lakh to Rs 1 crore,” said Kalyani Shastry, associate director at RGF Executive Search.However, the Birla group, which also got permission to start a payment bank, has already hired employees for its operations.”We have our people in place … we look for banking, consumer and technology-oriented people,” said Santrupt Misra, director of global HR & CEO, carbon black business, at the group.The entities are also scouting for talent outside the country, including Singapore and Silicon Valley, to rope in people with experience in disruptive products, said K Sudarshan, managing partner and co-founder of EMA Partners.read more

Update: After many rumours around Ratan Tata’s exit from Tata Trusts, he clarified on Friday that he has no plans of stepping down anytime soon. Chairman of Tata Trusts, Ratan Tata, is most likely to step down from the position and the selection of the next chairman is likely to happen by mid-2017. Tata Trusts controls 66 percent of Tata Sons, which was mired in controversy after its chairman Cyrus Mistry was publicly ousted from his position.Ratan Tata is unlikely to remain a trustee once the new chairman takes over. With him departing, his close aide R Venkataramanan will also most likely leave to manage his personal investments. When Mistry had taken the position, it was the first time that a Tata Sons chairman was not made the chairman of Tata Trusts in 2012. Ratan Tata, who is accused of controlling the company from behind the curtain, will likely leave the company and focus on his $250 million venture capital fund UCRNT, in association with the University of California. “The next chairman has to be someone who has the right vision and be in complete alignment with the will of the Tata Group founders,” Krishna Kumar, a group veteran and Tata trustee told the Times of India. An external consultant has been hired by Tata Trusts to figure out who the next chairman will be. It could be someone non-Parsi and not a member of Tata family. The new appointee will initially work with Ratan Tata as deputy chairman and then take over.Kumar also said that Tata Trusts and Tata Sons chairman will be different. The next-appointee will be someone in mid-50s to early 60s and not necessarily Parsi. “It is very unlikely that it will be a foreign passport holder. The person needs to be an Indian and understand what is good for India,” Krishna Kumar added. Recently, the company was mired in controversy after Cyrus Mistry was ousted. Kumar told the ET that Ratan Tata and N Soonawala had been holding talks with Mistry over the way he was running the company. He refuted that his ouster was sudden. “Many meetings were held in Bombay House,” he said.read more

Aung San Suu Kyi and her government are “burying their heads in the sand” over the violence in Rakhine state, Amnesty International said Tuesday, criticising Myanmar’s leader for failing to condemn the army’s alleged abuses in a televised speech.The United Nations, rights groups, and a tide of Rohingya refugees pouring into Bangladesh have accused Myanmar’s military of using bullets and arson to wage an “ethnic cleansing campaign” against the Muslim minority.In her speech Tuesday, Suu Kyi expressed sympathy for the “suffering of all people” swept up in the violence but did not address accusations of ethnic cleansing.She instead said only that anyone guilty of rights abuses would be brought to justice.“Aung San Suu Kyi today demonstrated that she and her government are still burying their heads in the sand over the horrors unfolding in Rakhine State. At times, her speech amounted to little more than a mix of untruths and victim blaming,” Amnesty said.The rights group blasted Suu Kyi for remaining “silent about the role of the security forces”, whom they have accused of being “engaged in a campaign of ethnic cleansing”.The watchdog also criticised Suu Kyi’s call for international observers to visit Myanmar to assess its troubles for themselves, citing her government’s blocking of a UN fact-finding mission to probe alleged army atrocities in Rakhine.“Aung San Suu Kyi’s claims that her government ‘does not fear international scrutiny’ ring hollow… If Myanmar has nothing to hide, it should allow UN investigators into the country, including Rakhine state,” Amnesty said.read more

Around 27,000 Bengali medium candidates have fallen victim to the same incident as their Tamil counterparts.Many of these students were anxious about their future, after they were deprived in the examination on the basis of the language they had opted for. It was learnt that therewere around 180 errors in the translation. Also Read – Naihati: 10 councillors return to TMC from BJPAccording to Tuesday’s judgment, all students who sat for NEET in Tamil, will get 196 marks extra out of 720. The Madras High Court’s decision will benefit around 24,000 students and will have ramifications for students across the country as the rankings could be drastically altered.The board will issue a revised ranking list in two weeks and counselling for medical course will be suspended till then.The future of Bengali medium candidates has been hanging in the balance. The students have demanded that the CBSE should conduct re-examination or give grace marks to the candidates who faced inconvenience due to the mistakes in the Bengali version of the NEET question paper. It was alleged that neither the Centre nor the CBSE had taken any initiative in this regard, even after Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee wrote to the Union Human Resources Development Ministry, urging them for a re-examination.The candidates in the state had been shattered as they could not properly attempt the questions. Most of the questions were allegedly full of errors or were ambiguous.Many have, however, viewed this as an attempt by the Centre to abolish Bengali language and to ensure that students do not opt for Bengali as the medium of the examination in the future years.read more

Kolkata: With the incident of caving-in of the Majerhat bridge, a move has been taken to ensure that maintenance of all bridges above 12 metre in length is carried out by the state Public Works Department (PWD) and Kolkata Metropolitan Development Authority (KMDA) in the area under its jurisdiction.According to a senior official of the state government, the move has been taken up considering that the two agencies are having the necessary number of manpower with the required expertise to carry out the maintenance of the bridges. As a result, an incident like Majerhat can be averted. Departments including PWD, Irrigation department, Panchayats and Rural Development department and the statutory planning usually make bridges across the state while in most cases, the KMDA undertakes the same in the Kolkata Metropolitan Area. Also Read – Rain batters Kolkata, cripples normal lifeAccording to some state government officials, the matter regarding monitoring the “health” of bridges in the state and its proper maintenance have come up strongly after the caving-in of the Majerhat bridge. All the departments and the KMDA have carried out a study to check the condition of the bridges built by them. A database containing detailed information about all bridges in the state has been prepared too. Sources added that there was a subsequent discussion on the need for a proper mechanism to ensure better maintenance of the bridge. It is learned that the top brass of the state government assessed the situation and came to a conclusion that the PWD will carry out maintenance of all the bridges above 12 metre in length and the KMDA will carry out the same in the area under its jurisdiction. The Hooghly River Bridge Commissioners (HRBC) will also be undertaking maintenance of a few. There are 3,998 bridges across the state that was constructed by the state Irrigation department. Sources said that a section of the total number of the bridges will be maintained by the state PWD and KMDA. Similarly, above 12-metre long bridges made by other departments will also be maintained by the two agencies. Also Read – Speeding Jaguar crashes into Mercedes car in Kolkata, 2 pedestrians killedA senior official said monitoring and maintenance work of the bridges is a regular process. So the step has been taken up to carry out the work more effectively.It may be recalled that almost a year ago the state government had entrusted the state PWD to widen and strengthen roads even of Zilla Parishads as the former has the necessary expertise to carry out the work. The state PWD has already taken up more than 3,000 Zilla Parishad roads for widening and strengthening.read more
